Guided Reading/Grammar: Students are reminded to bring their grammar notebooks to class tomorrow. There will be an assessment on complex and complex-compound sentences this Friday.

Language Arts: We continued our study of The Westing Game. Homework: Read Chapters 4, 5, 6 and write a paragraph response to the following prompt: Pick 2 characters from the novel. What positive and negative traits do they have? Make a Venn diagram. Label the circles with the names of the characters and fill in the circles with their similar and different traits.

Guided Reading/Grammar: Students are reminded to bring their grammar notebooks to class next week, as Mr. Bergemann will continue our study of sentence structure. After winter break, this particular group will head to art.
Advanced Math: We did a review of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing of both integers and exponents, and then students were introduced to scientific notation. Next week, we will complete Investigation 3 and beginning Investigation 4 of the Growing, Growing, Growing book. The test for this book will be the Friday after we return from break.
Language Arts: No new homework. Debate essays were due today. (Students who didn't get this in have detention after school today to complete it. If they don't complete it in the time after school, they have detention every day next week until they are finished.) Mr. Bergemann introduced The Westing Game, which is the book of study until Thursday, January 17.
NHD/Social Studies: Students had time to work on NHD (unless they were not finished with their debate essays... Then this is what they were working on during that time.)
